CONFIRMED: Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, will be the new mayor of Miami.
She'll be the city's first Democratic mayor since the 1990s. She flipped the office from Republicans, and does so easily. She leads the DeSantis-endorsed Emilio González 59/41 right now with most ballots counted.

This was a worthwhile critique of media that depicted gay men as sexless accessories for the self-actualization of straight characters, but it makes no sense applied to a show exclusively dedicated to the story of two hot dudes who love fucking each other.

One beautiful thing about tokusatsu is that even when it looks fake as hell - sometimes especially when it looks fake as hell - I’m constantly reminded that it’s been crafted by humans who are enjoying themselves and making children believe in wonderful things.

I like this proposal to progressively tax high CEO-to-worker pay ratios. This is what every tax should consider—how it can shape behavior in a desired direction.
I'll add that I think this should be paid in newly issued shares into a national UBI-paying fund that all corps should pay into annually.

We're getting lots here at the Library of Virginia: requests of documents likely surfaced by large language models that *do not exist*.

AI automation =/= AI generation. the scripts to automatically transcribe voice to text or whether your party character prioritizes Attack or Defense isn't the same as algorithms generating randomized results out of an amalgamation of existing data. conflating them is intentionally misleading.

James Gunn has openly said he wants Batmite and honestly I think if you are a director who wants to differentiate yourself from the gloomy Batman movies of the last 25 years, a movie about Batman dealing with Batmite might legitimately be the best way to do it.

Oh, here's a big surprise. The transphobes don't believe in ADHD either.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM
